Laura McAllister was the first person to suggest a boycott at UEFA’s emergency meeting. Lise Klaveness the first to call on next steps. Women were crucial in the fight vs FIFA. Another example of why having women w/ football backgrounds in high level of governance is so crucial.
The grand announcement was supposed to come on the eve of the World Cup final at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. Gianni Infantino had come up with a plan to sell a stake in FIFA’s competitions to private investors, including Joshua Kushner, the brother of Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared. Infantino decided to delay the announcement, which was expected to be rolled out during the past week. Instead, the news was revealed elsewhere. It threw a grenade into the rollout, which culminated in boycott threats. FIFA and Infantino have now rowed back on the plan. This is the inside story of how and why the idea came together, the failed rollout and where this leaves Infantino, with possible challengers seriously considering battling him for his throne. ✍️ @AdamCrafton_, @JamesHorncastle and @megan_feringa 🔗 nyti.ms/4fP3TDY

🚨 Historical decision by Union Berlin as German club appoint Marie-Louise Eta as their head coach until June. Union lost at Heidenheim, sacked the head coach Steffen Baumgart and put Marie-Louise Eta in charge until the end of the season. Ets becomes the first female head coach in the history of men’s Bundesliga.

In just four days, £50,000 has been raised to support Matt Beard’s wife Debbie and their children, Harry and Ellie. The outpouring of love and generosity from friends, colleagues, players and supporters has been truly remarkable. Thank you so much 🙏🏼❤️ justgiving.com/crowdfunding/…

Like everyone else, we’re remembering the great Matt Beard here at Upfront. @cwardy7 spoke to us last year about his huge generosity and warmth.

After all Matt Beard has done for women’s football, all the support he gave his players and everything he achieved over a long career, he could only allow himself three months before having to consider something else. We are nowhere near it yet

Blown away by the way the women’s football community is wrapping its arms around Matt Beard’s widow Debbie, kids Harry, Ellie and all the family. The kind words alongside the donations mean so much to them right now ❤️
This is such a painful time for everyone who knew Matt Beard. If friends or supporters wish to ease the burden of funeral costs, etc, here’s a way to support Matt’s wife Debbie as she and the kids attempt to process the sudden loss of this lovely man 💔 justgiving.com/crowdfunding/…

I posted this 1 year ago. It was the one year anniversary of the passing of Maddy Cusack. Exactly one year on we lose Matt Beard. Two (manager & player) incredible humans lost to what is supposed to be our beautiful game. I will ask the same question again??
